Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 94760 covers

This service records one oxygen-saturation reading using a noninvasive ear or pulse oximeter, commonly a fingertip sensor. Clinical staff may obtain it in a physician office, clinic, or hospital outpatient setting during assessment of dyspnea, respiratory symptoms, or oxygenation. The service represents a spot measurement, not a series of readings or prolonged monitoring. The code covers the technical measurement; a separate code covers interpretation when that service is furnished and reportable.

Report one determination when the service consists of a single reading. Documentation should identify the measurement and clinical context and support that only one determination was performed. CMS classifies this as a minor service payable only when no other physician service is billed for the same date. When an E/M service or another physician service is billed that day, 94760 is not separately payable under this rule. CMS assigns no physician work RVU to the technical service.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
